I found this interesting and wanted to share it.

is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you
already have.
Kitchen Insect Repellents
Strings of garlic bulbs and bundles of chili peppers hung
from the ceiling of a kitchen have more than just cosmetic
appeal. Flies and other pests do not care for them.
Aromatic herbs will also keep away kitchen pests. Try
growing sage, thyme, oregano, rosemary, basil, or one of
the mints in your kitchen windows. Rue, a fast-growing
bushy plant with blue-tinged leaves, will work against both
flies and fleas. (An aromatic herb such as rosemary will
also counter microbial activity in meats, if sprigs of the
herb are tucked into the meat.) If you have a problem with
ants in your kitchen, find their point of entry and
sprinkle cayenne pepper around it. And finally, a couple of
bay leaves in your jars of flour, cereals, beans, or rice
will deter weevils.
